Photokina brought us plenty of new cameras and some of those are shipping right in these days. So let’s make a short roundup!

Sony RX1:
Early preorders are shipping via Sonystore DE–UK–FR–IT–ES–NL–SE–FI–CH in Europe (picture on top shows a “German” RX1). And we already have plenty of RAW and JPG images you can download and analyze at DPreview, DC.watch (translation here), Yodbashi (translation here), Focus Numerique (translation here) and Steve Huff.
Sony P.S.: Luminous Landscape tested the new Sony 10-18mm E-mount lens

Ok now that we have these new cameras we are ready to see what’s coming in 5 weeks when the CES show in las Vegas will have his showdown. In that case I expect some new entry level mirrorles scamera ot be announced by Sony-Samsung.

DxOmark (Click here) published their NEX-6 sensor test. And yes…it has the same sensor as the NEX-5r and NEX-5n. And Photographyblog tested the new NEX-5R: “While it looks almost identical to its predecessor, the new 180° tilting LCD screen, faster hybrid auto-focusing, wi-fi connectivity, downloadable apps and a more refined interface make the NEX-5R a great mid-range mirrorlesscamera.“

My guess is that Sony will bring a new NEX-7 successor as next. And I think it’s going to be a sort of update like we had from the 5n to the 5r!

P:S.: You can save a small $30 on two Demo NEX-6 on eBay US (via Slidoo).

Really like that video…watch it! :)

CameraLabs posted the final EOS-M review: “The slow AF even with native lenses, lack of viewfinder options and limited native lens catalogue at the time of writing rule out our top rating, but it remains a solid beginning to Canon’s mirror-less compact system camera line and one deserving of the Cameralabs Recommended Award.“

And our friend Frank from CanonWatch is about to make a one month travel through Myanmar with his EOS-M camera. Check it out!

P.S.: A s a reminder. New EOS-M lenses will be announced in February-March. I have no info about a new camera yet…

Today is Sony RX1 day! The first Full Frame compact camera ever made is finally shipping in Asia (for example at Amazon Japan). And it may not be casual that today two first professional ISO tests have been posted on Focus Numerique (translation here) and on Imaging Resource. And the first thing you will notice is that the RX1 beats the other usually not so goo HIGH ISO images from other Sony cameras like the A99. It is on par with the best FF of the class (like the Nikon D600).

Looks terrific!!!

USA and Canada:
RX1 links at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Sonystore, Sonystore Canada.

Europe:
RX1 links at Sonystore DE–UK–FR–IT–ES–NL–SE–FI–CH, Wex UK, Wex Germany.

Fujiguys (Click here) posted a new set of X-E1 and XF1 videos. And if you are still deciding if you should get the X-Pro 1 or the X-E1 just check out the latest comparison at Fujirumors. P.S.: Plenty of X-E1 are now in Stock (Just check Slidoo eBay for example).

By the way, Olympus announced the new 17mm lens and you can read all news and reviews over at 43rumors. The rumored 40-150mm f/2.8 lens will likely be announced in January.
